Add new attributes to configure support for multiple BSSID
and advanced multi-BSSID advertisements (EMA) in AP mode.
- NL80211_ATTR_MBSSID_CONFIG used for per interface configuration.
- NL80211_ATTR_MBSSID_ELEMS used to MBSSID elements for beacons.
Memory for the elements is allocated dynamically. This change frees
the memory in existing functions which call nl80211_parse_beacon(),
a comment is added to indicate the new references to do the same.

Add a driver FILS crypto offload extended capability flag to indicate
that the driver running in AP mode is capable of handling encryption
and decryption of (Re)Association request and response frames.
Add a command to set FILS AAD data to driver.
This feature is supported on drivers running in AP mode only.
This extended capability is exchanged with hostapd during cfg80211
init. If the driver indicates this capability, then before sending the
Authentication response frame, hostapd sets FILS AAD data to the
driver. This allows the driver to decrypt (Re)Association Request
frame and encrypt (Re)Association Response frame. FILS Key derivation
will still be done in hostapd.

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you
have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock
contention on that.
Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at
some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and
all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still
don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get
parallel calls for a single device).
Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or
remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some
of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since
we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only
hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

We used to not require anything in terms of registering netdevs
with cfg80211, using a netdev notifier instead. However, in the
next patch reducing RTNL locking, this causes big problems, and
the simplest way is to just require drivers to do things better.
Change the registration/unregistration semantics to require the
drivers to call cfg80211_(un)register_netdevice() when this is
happening due to a cfg80211 request, i.e. add_virtual_intf() or
del_virtual_intf() (or if it somehow has to happen in any other
cfg80211 callback).
Otherwise, in other contexts, drivers may continue to use the
normal netdev (un)registration functions as usual.
Internally, we still use the netdev notifier and track (by the
new wdev->registered bool) if the wdev had already been added
to cfg80211 or not.

NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS is added to configure SAR from
user space. NL80211_ATTR_SAR_SPEC is used to pass the SAR
power specification when used with NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS.
Wireless driver needs to register SAR type, supported frequency
ranges to wiphy, so user space can query it. The index in
frequency range is used to specify which sub band the power
limitation applies to. The SAR type is for compatibility, so later
other SAR mechanism can be implemented without breaking the user
space SAR applications.
Normal process is user space queries the SAR capability, and
gets the index of supported frequency ranges and associates the
power limitation with this index and sends to kernel.
Here is an example of message send to kernel:

Add support to configure SAE PWE preference from userspace to drivers in
both AP and STA modes. This is needed for cases where the driver takes
care of Authentication frame processing (SME in the driver) so that
correct enforcement of the acceptable PWE derivation mechanism can be
performed.
The userspace applications can pass the sae_pwe value using the
NL80211_ATTR_SAE_PWE attribute in the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT and
NL80211_CMD_START_AP commands to the driver. This allows selection
between the hunting-and-pecking loop and hash-to-element options for PWE
derivation. For backwards compatibility, this new attribute is optional
and if not included, the driver is notified of the value being
unspecified.

Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs.
This includes:
- kernel-doc markup fixes
- ReST fixes
- Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of
the docs build toolchain (Sphinx)
After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce
significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be
supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4).
As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the
end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build,
as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests
that should be happening along the merge window.
The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10.
PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported,
as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in
order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on
Sphinx 3.1"

ensure the control channel is with the operating.
